Garlic mashed potatoes are a classic side dish that can never go out of style. The addition of garlic enhances the flavor of the already delicious buttery potatoes. They're great alongside roasted meats, BBQ chicken and more. The recipe below produces the creamiest and most flavorful mashed potato dish you've ever tried—a side dish that genuinely takes center-stage. In this recipe, the richness of the potatoes comes from cream cheese and sour cream that are introduced into the mash, while the butter ensures an incredibly smooth consistency and a beautiful shine. And, best of all, it's incredibly simple to make.

Instructions

1.	Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters. Place in a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 20 minutes.
2.	While the potatoes are cooking, add the peeled garlic cloves to a small pot of water. Bring to a boil and cook for 1-2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3.	Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the sour cream, cream cheese and butter. Mash together until smooth with a potato masher.
4.	Squeeze the cooked garlic from their skins and add to the potato mixture. Mix well.
5.	Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6.	Optional: Top with chopped chives and paprika before serving.
